About Me

https://emeraldvisions.org/paintings/#jp-carousel-151

I’m Raphael, Welcome to Emerald Visions!

I am a Queer Jewish Witch called to the work of the spirits in service to Nature and the Divine. I am a visionary artist, psychic medium, herbalism student, astrologer, and writer. The waters of spiritual practice I swim in are Jewish magic and ecstatic witchcraft as I am guided by my relationship with the spirit world, nature, and the ancestors. I love to spend my time communing with nature and weaving ritual along with engaging in practice and study of the occult, tarot, art history, dreams, ancestral healing, mysticism, consciousness-shifting plants, and herbal medicine. I strive to spark soul-nourishing inspiration through my spiritual services and teaching; with my values being rooted in liberation, social justice, and earth-honoring practices in the spirit of love, peace, healing, and repair for souls seen and unseen.
